Nick Denis to Face Sandro in Sengoku Second Round

Sengoku has announced the matchups for the second round of their Featherweight Grand Prix. Ottawa’s Nick Denis will face Marlon Sandro at Sengoku’s Eighth Battle on May 2 in Tokyo, Japan.

The undefeated Canadian (7-0) beat his first round opponent in spectacular fashion. Denis dropped Seiya Kawahara to the mat with an early high kick at Sengoku 7. Kawahara bravely rose only to be dropped by a series of strikes from the unbeaten King of the Cage Canada veteran.

Brazil’s Marlon Sandro also won with a highlight reel submission in the first round of the Featherweight tournament. The undefeated Sandro (13-0) used an impressive standing Arm Triangle to choke Matt Jaggers for the victory.
